For Acne "I’m on my third month of Claravis and I’m still purging. It’s kind of annoying getting red blotches that look like sores on my face. I don’t want to leave the house. I don’t know how to rate this because my skin is still a mess. I’m going to try and finish treatment and praying for clear skin."

For Acne "I started Claravis 4 months ago, and it was a terrible start. I experienced a very rough purge process, and my acne continued for a while. Around the 3 1/2 month period, my acne magically stopped, though. I haven't broken out in a couple of weeks. Unfortunately, my face is covered in red marks left over from the acne, but my dermatologist is prescribing a retinoid next month (my last) to treat those quickly. Very good treatment, but takes a while. 3 1/2 months in my case."

For Acne "This medicine is literally AMAZING. I have only been on it for TWO months, and everything is gone, besides one tiny cyst on my forehead that I picked at too much; but other than that, my skin is completely clear. I had the worst skin ever; cysts ALL over my face, followed by whiteheads. Now it's completely clear. I'm 16 years old and have been dealing with this since 5th grade. I have a little redness on my cheeks, but I'm sure that will go away soon, DEFINITELY. Recommending this. So far, I've had really dry skin, but my dermatologist gave me lotion, which helps A LOT, and Aquaphor for my lips and nose."

For Acne "I am finishing up my final month on Claravis. The first two months, I have to say, were the worst. I broke out so bad that every time I smiled, I felt nothing but throbbing pain all over my face. Now my face has started to clear, but slowly. I have dark spots and redness all over my face, plus some blackheads to go along with it. I don't break out as bad as I did back in month 2. Hopefully, I will be able to see a clear future."

For Acne "This medicine has helped bring cysts to the surface and clear them. Redness persists on cheeks, though. Skin will look completely clear one day, and a large cyst-like pimple will still develop and appear the next day. I have read absorption rate increases by taking it with fatty foods, so need to make a habit of that. Back of upper arms gets very red and dry and needed a steroid prescribed to help with that. Back and chest cleared completely. Dr. Dan lip ointment worked wonders for dry lips."

For Acne "I am on my 3rd week of Claravis. I have one pimple that I picked, unfortunately, so it looks bad, but other than that, pretty clear skin! I was really dry around my nose, lips, and chin. I also was red all over my face, like rosacea, and swollen on my forehead between my eyes and on my chin...weird. But I started using Clinique Redness Solutions face wash, moisturizer, and SPF 15 base (all in one kit), and now the redness is almost gone, and my skin looks more normal. I also started using Clinique Mineral Makeup and love it! Great coverage and nice finish. I use Aquaphor at night for my lips and anywhere that is flaky in addition to the Clinique moisturizer. I just bought Murad Pomegranate Lip Treatment for day use."
